NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 21 - Will Cleary update or downdate in point?!?

Think I’m getting in the Hands Hummer, I’ve been on the Wakeham Express previously when it derailed.

Hands isn't in the top 30 atm, but is probably close to an upgrade the way BA was talking about it in the presser

Hopefully Ponga gets his head right but anyone looking at Gamble

The press release seems to look like it’s long term for Ponga

Out of these three which one would you leave out?

Uto
Loiero
Ford

Good, it should be. Needs to take the rest of the season off to get it sorted. I used to hate watching Yeo or Matto go through those knocks, every hit was easier to knock them out.

Hopefully he comes back and plays well next season and can move past it. Newcastle wont do anything this year anyway, and he might have a new coach to come back to!

NRL match centre (not app) has him down for both a 1pt goal and a 2pt goal

Ah ok mate, thanks for the clarification.

Interesting captain percentages this round:

Harry Grant 55.0%
Nathan Cleary 11.2%
Payne Haas 7.0%
Cameron Murray 5.8%
Reece Robson 4.2%
J'maine Hopgood 3.9%

That’s the top 1000 pre round, Cleary was top overall on 16%

Looking at him he seems similar to someone like TMM, Boyd, Moylan?
35-45 pts in mostly tackles/running metres and the attacking stats balanced out by negatives?

The difference probably is TMM is cheaper and has DPP
Boyd most people have and probably more upside

35pts in 3 weeks makes you 60k
40pts in 3 weeks makes you 90k
45pts in 3 weeks makes you 110k

I mean you would need him to be steady and maybe make a big play
I would probably rather go TMM to be honest

I didn't think Ponga was coming back anytime soon but still not mad about Gamble. Wakeham looks much better base points half for cheaper so taking a punt even though people will say JS. Maybe I end up with both in a few weeks but need to see at less at another game score from Gamble

True, forgot it was top 1000!

That would be good as Cleary Cer but now I'm not trading in Grant this week he will score +90pts

How much weight does Ivan Cleary give to Fantasy scores when picking his team?

Garner has been named ahead of Hosking every week so far - there will be a reason for that. Will last night's game be enough to change that selection decision?

In 4 important games this season, Garner has had 1 great game, 3 poor games and appears to have been playing badly enough to be hooked at 29 minutes and not come back on, while the other EDG almost won them the game with a try and had a huge work rate. Garner has been a journeyman for a long time, Hosking looks like a genuine up and coming gun (not just for fantasy).

Kenny charged with a grade 1 careless high tackle so just a fine

Think I’m positively influenced by Gamble doing well for me in 2021 but he was dominant kicker back then

Looks like I’m back to the Warbrick prayer circle this week with 148k ITB for Trindall, Loiero, Doorey etc next week - was looking at Teddy + cheapie

Happy Birthday SI  

Here's a Birthday GIF in honour of the occasion:

Once you know it’s top 1000 it makes sense. Going to mainly be players without Cleary who also swerved captaining HopOK last week

Keen to head to a sold out Suncorp tonight

Hopefully it`s a closer game then what most are expecting

I had a quick look and he has to be the dominant kicker for it to be worthwhile. Last weeks 52 was his highest score by far without decent kms - next best is 33

Still more tempted by Wakeham

I'm getting excited as well.

Should be great regardless of what happens...sell out crowds are ace!

Listening to a bit of Fugazi to get me fired up.
